00:30
If you guys want to do Edgewater and try to get some better eyes on it, it's burning up to the dog park here and it's a lot of good stop, so we'll be able to stop from the top if you can get the eyes on from the bottom.

01:47
Yeah, command from engine 26.
01:49
It looks like the fire is approximately 200 by 200 right now, and it is going all the way down, looks like, to the railroad tracks from our advantage.
01:59
For me a copy, it looks like we have a pretty good stuff on the head of it up here, so that looks correct on your side.

Ops 1, 2138. T2138. C2's ragged, uh, C2, but I assume the Bluff command. Engine 20 keep going to come back, will join me for a second.
02:39
John 209. Truck 8 from Command Night, I called you as a precautionary in case it was going uphill towards any of the homes. I'm going to have you continue here, but I'll just have you stage out there on Crawford once we get a good read. It sounds like it's going downhill, which that's a good thing. Truck 8, copy.
03:02
Engine 22[4], I'll give you operations, since you'll be got the best eyes on it, and then I'll be in command here and let me know what we need to do to get this thing to go. Copy the technology. Yeah, go. All companies, we've got a water supply engine 22, so we're good on water as far as aren't our lines on the top side.
03:30
Can you identify who that was trying to speak? Utility Truck, 22. Truck 2. Truck, utility 22, you guys came back with a lot of backfeed. Can you try again on your transmission?
03:43
Yeah, you're completely unreadable, unless I think I'm hearing you tell me we've got maybe two separate fires going. We do have a secondary fire where the, uh, behind, where bus unit 22 came down, and where utility trailer is parked by the other trailer, so where the railroad tracks cross.
04:08
Okay, copy that. Are we being able to address that, or do you need an engine to come down? Is that edgewater you guys went down? This looks like it's about a 20 by 30 wall fire that we addressed with the utility trailer. It sounds like you can address it. Engine 6, as you look up on the map here, when you come up on the bluff, I'd like you to head the edgewater there, right by the tavern there.
04:37
and head down there for my engine to go down that road and you can kind of assist with utility 22. The command from engine 26, it looks like we got a pretty good stop on the fire on basically the southeast ridge.
04:58
That's designate the one that we got to stop on is Crawford since that's what we're parked on up here and then we'll work on getting that one that utility 22 is addressing
